Biography
Kawab was born in Sais, Sap-Meh Nome, Ptolemaic Egypt in 56 BC, the son of Taharqa and Maharet and the grandson of Ghupa. His father became the steward and grand planner of Letopolis, and he was often away from his family; he was secretly a member of the Order of the Ancients. In 48 BC, Ghupa was severely beaten and his tongue cut out by Taharqa's soldiers after he inquired as to the identity of "the Scarab", who was secretly Taharqa, unbeknownst to everyone but his fellow Order members. The brewer Harkuf adviser the medjay Bayek to investigate, and Kawab said that Ghupa had been travelling down the Camp Pyrrhos road before failing to return home. Bayek rescued Ghupa from the camp and brought him back to the family, and Maharet advised for Bayek to go to Letopolis and speak to Taharqa about the Scarab, as Taharqa publicly appeared to be a friend of the resistance. Kawab gave Bayek a wooden toy car and asked him to give it to his father to show that he missed him. Bayek would travel to Letopolis and meet with Taharqa, fighting off bandits to earn his trust. However, Taharqa was unnerved by the fact that Bayek was getting closer to discovering his identity, so he had him left to die in the desert. Bayek later returned to Letopolis, recovered his weapons, and assassinated Taharqa, and Kawab and Maharet were angry, with Kawab feeling that Bayek was a friend who had betrayed the family. However, Bayek said that Taharqa had been the man who cut out Ghupa's tongue, and Ghupa confirmed with a nod. Bayek then asked for Maharet to diverge Kawab's path from his father's, and he left the family.

Despite Ghupa and Maharet's attempts, Kawab was driven on a path of vengeance, tracking him down to the Sinai in 38 BC. He hired two bounty hunters to patrol Arsinoe and the Madiama Nome in search of his father's killer, but they were later hunted down by Bayek himself. Bayek eventually tracked Kawab down and confronted him in the desert, defeating him and asking him to use his vengeance for a much greater cause. Kawab ultimately joined the Hidden Ones, and he later travelled to Judea to counter the tyrannical rule of King Herod the Great.
